Rescue transportation volunteer registry (proposed)

Oh my gosh - has Dawn seen the name of the transport? What a wonderful way to honor true dedication to a Sheltie. Fabulous.

I would definitely participate. We are about 90 miles north of LA.

I agree that transport out of shelters who euthanize when full would be the first priority.

You two tech guys are off and running - I think it's WONDERFUL!!!!

PS My DH thought it should be called the "Sheltie Shuttle" :biggrin2:

Yes, I asked her for permission before I registered the domain.

Sheltie Shuttle is a cute name... and sheltieshuttle.com is even available, I'll probably register it too as things progress, and redirect it to the same site.

Thanks!
 
I'd be willing to pay an application fee. I love this idea and the map idea is AMAZING!

I said recently that my next car would be a van so that I could work in rescue transport. I'm in 1000%.
 
New thread for update notices

Before anyone decides to unsubscribe to this thread, to get out from under its traffic load, I created a new thread exclusively for software update notifications.

Title: Gypsy Rescue Transport: update notifications

Please subscribe to it, rather than posting to it.

But keep posting to express interest to this thread (and don't worry about unsubscribing if you'd rather.) :yes:
 
I'm very touched that you have honored my Gypsy in this way. I like Sharon's Hubby's name idea too. What if we combined them to Gypsy's Sheltie Shuttle.
 
While working in getting Hope into a rescue I found out (per another rescue) that you need health certficates for the dog when transporting to different states. Pounds don't do health check ups or give vaccinations. Some research needs to be done into what kind of health documents are needed for transporting. A rescue got in trouble in Michigan for transporting dogs here from down south without the proper paperwork and health check ups on the dogs. The dogs went into quarantine. The rescue fined.

You need a certificate of veterinary inspection which is though the Board of Animal Health of the origin state. It must be filled out by an USDA accredited veterinarian within 10 days from transport and it is good for 30 days from issue. It would list the destination state so it is good to pass though all the states on the way.
 
Forum member lasheltie brought to my attention a group called On the Road Again (OTRA) that seems to have a similar raison d'etra. I can't really comment on their operation yet, because they haven't responded to my request to join (their yahoo group, which seems to be their only online interface.)

I sent them the info they asked for on Saturday -- it's a very good thing I don't have an emergency need. Apparently timely response isn't their forte.

Their intro blurb indicates they prefer to move dogs that have been in a rescue for a couple of weeks. So while there may be some overlap, I think our goals are different enough... that they won't hate us at first sight. Who knows, maybe they'll use our system in their operation.
